The Miami Dolphins have reached out to the Minnesota Vikings about interviewing assistant general manager George Paton for their vacant general manager position, according to a source. It is unclear if he will interview, however.

Minnesota Vikings assistant general manager George Paton is not in the mix for the Cleveland Browns general manager opening. There are two different versions in league circles as to what happened. According to one source, Paton passed at a chance to interview. Another source said the Vikings declined permission.
